Powering the Next Generation of ZK Rollups with a Modular Architecture
The design of Lagrange's ZK Prover Network is a masterpiece of modularity, deliberately mirroring the evolution of the internet from centralized intranets to a distributed "network of networks." Traditional ZK prover networks often operate on a monolithic, single-gateway model, which creates inherent bottlenecks and scalability issues. In contrast, Lagrange's architecture supports multiple independent subnetworks, each with its own dedicated bandwidth. This "prover network of prover networks" approach is not just a clever design choice; it is a fundamental enabler of infinite scalability. It allows any blockchain, rollup, or application to connect and tap into the necessary proving resources without being constrained by the capacity of a central gatekeeper. Developers gain the freedom to scale their applications without worrying about I/O constraints or bottlenecks. This modularity also allows for a high degree of customization, supporting a variety of proof systems like Boojum, Plonky3, and Plonky2, and ensuring that the network can flexibly adapt to the diverse and heterogeneous needs of a rapidly evolving ecosystem. This architectural innovation positions Lagrange as the foundational infrastructure for powering the largest and most complex rollup ecosystems, including partners like AltLayer and Caldera, with plans to support major stacks like zkSync, Polygon CDK, and Scroll’s zkEVM
